Carlos Alcaraz advanced to the championship Finals for the first time on Saturday evening in Turin, where he ended the run of newly revived Felix Auger.
Alcaraz received the year’s ATP-End Now. 1 presented by the PIF Trophy on Friday and celebrated that achievement by putting on a show against the auger-aliassime. The 22-year-old was a figure in the shadows in front of the crowd at the Inalpi Arena, producing several aces to claim a 6-2, 6-4 victory after one hour and 23 minutes.
“I felt like I could do everything on the court,” Alcaraz said in his pre-set presentation. “It doesn’t matter if I made the world move forward, shot or back down, I felt that everything will help you throughout the match, I pressured him to do something different and I’m happy that I continued to play such great tennis.”
With his 11th lead of the year, the top seed is the first Spaniard to reach the Astigious finals since Rafael Nadal in 2013.
Alcaraz will renew his rivalry with Sone at the Sungali Champishipship, the finale proper on the ATP Tour. World No
Alcaraz is the owner of the 4-1 lexus atp head against sin this season (10-5 overall), but going down Italy with his Italy behind will not be easy. Sinner climbs to the winning crown within 30 and will have the home crowd roaring behind him. The first leg of the Final is scheduled for Sunday at 6 PM CET, with the title heading into a single title draw this week.
“It’s good looking at Jannik,” said Alcaraz, looking forward to the final. “If it was someone else I wouldn’t want to look for loyalty but it’s great. Thanks to him, I’ll focus and I can drive the tournament for him, so I can drive the tournament for him, so I think both of us can make our fans at the top, which is fun.”
Against Auger-Aliassime, Alcaraz dug in the first break of the match with his trademark flash. After burning crosscourt backhand exchange, the world 1. One of the Canadians somehow chased it down the line, but Alcaraz attacked in full, stabbing a volley in the open court to sign the point and take a 3-1 lead.
The Spaniard, who was dropping a set en route to the semi-finals, dominated the opening, hitting 13 unforced errors to take the lead. Alcaraz was made to work hard by the second-seeded auger-auger-augersime, but suffered a major setback in the 10th game when the Canadian committed four unforced errors. The Spaniard now leads auger-aliassime 5-3 in the lexus atp head2head Series.
Auger-Aliassime finishes the season at No. 5 in the PIF atp rankings, as low as No August 27 in August. In three impressive months of the season, the 25-year-old lifted the medal in Brussels, reached the final of the ATP Masters event in Paris and the USI-Finals in the US open.
